Everlasting load capacity with up to 1000 kg on each pedestal*
Solid construction of Raptor decking pedestals gives a stale support in all kind of projects and also there where large beams allows for wider distance between supports**.**.
*- Detailed information please read Technical Specification. **- Please note that despite pedestals high load capacity You need to follow the recommendation of a joists/beams and decking planks manufacturer according to maximum support distance between elements.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT.
All decking pedestals from Raptor Series has fixing holes.
They allow to join top wedge and bottom wedge together, joist with a pedestals and also fix whole pedestals to terrace basis.
Fixing pedestals to a ground is not a mandatory. In a case when pedestals are placed on water membrane it is even forbidden to avoid it`s membrane damage. When terrace installation is located on a firm ground surface as wood, concrete etc. fixing pedestals to ground is option which can give additional stabilization. This is also not mandatory but recommended when possible.
When pedestals got desired height it is possible to fix it with a screw. There are a dedicated holes on the wedge top surface. Holes has specially designed socket that makes screw can hide enough.
DRAINAGE.
Rainwater outflow
All Raptor decking elements has technical openings that allows rainwater flow outside. This openings are located in every place where this water could gather. Woda zbierająca się w zaułkach klinów może nie wydawać się dużym problemem początkowo. This also prevents situation when rainwater which stayed inside pedestals can freeze and damage pedestal construction.
SYSTEM ADVANTAGE.
Decking pedestals Raptor Series advantage
There are many solutions for a joists and beams supporting. This case is more or less a matter in almost every decking projects.
Solutions different as their durability. Bags filled with a concrete, wooden wedges, some plank clippings sometimes stacked together. The common thing for this placeholder solution is no guarantee for lifetime working and good support. No declared parameters or lack of precision it`s just few of many disadvantages. Nowadays guarantee time is not enough in construction business. For every final user the real value is no defects through all time of usage.
Lack of stable support is cause of lowering comfort usage of all decking terrace, also can lead to that decking material as e.g. WPC planks guarantee will be lost.
Decking support should not only be durable but also restistant to external weather conditions. Installtion of pedestals should also be as easy as possible. This is very important especially when installation is done by not a professinal but DIY final user. Many years of experience lead us to create this decking pedestals Raptor series.
Decking supports Raptor not only allows us to precisely adjust terrace height and slope. This decking pedestals give us total control over the final terrace appearance. Just imagine You can totaly minimise height difference between floor inside and terrace level.
INSTALLATION ON DIFFERENT SURFACES.
Installation and leveling joists or beams can be done on many types of different surfaces.
Solid and stable surfaces with low slope is not a big challenge. But there are many types of a top surfaces that are in a big slope and than decking pedestal are tilted from the axis. Without base tilt correction joist is not fully supported and pedestals are eccentric compressed.
What is load resistance of a pedestals with eccentric compression? What is stability of a pedestals in long time manner? It is almost impossible to say because every project is different that is why decking pedestals Raptor series has a slope coreector which compensate slope on the ground so that pedestals is staying always vertical.
Flat roofs are very popular now. Mostly finished with hardened XPS. Than when supporting joists pedestal need to have protection pad as Raptor series does.
